"Mother, it's windy outside. You should go back.”Li Zhiyun stood at the palace gate, persuading his mother, Madam Wan, to go back. He approached Madam Wan slightly and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear,""Mother, please suffer for a period of time. It won't be long before I let you walk out of this cage in glory.”
After meeting Yang You, Yang You wanted to show his grace.
He was allowed to not rush out of the palace and was allowed to meet his mother, Madam Wan.
Madam Wan did not suffer any grievances in the palace.
Because the bigger Li Zhiyun's actions were, the larger the number of troops would be.
Yang You had no time to win over Jia En, and did not dare to let Madam Wan suffer the slightest grievance in the palace.
The treatment of Madam Wan in the palace was similar to that of the Empress Dowager.
However, as a hostage, although her material conditions were not bad, she had to be on guard and cautious at all times. Therefore, in the past ten days, Madam Wan's face looked much older.
Madam Wan nodded and said," You don't have to worry about your mother. You must protect yourself at all times. You must survive."”
Madam Wan knew very well what path her son was walking on.
He was hinting to Li Zhiyun not to worry about her. As long as Li Zhiyun could live, she was willing to die.
Li Zhiyun was touched. In his past life and present life, perhaps only this woman in front of him truly cared about him.
Wan Xuandao was probably one of them.
Zhangsun Wugou counted as half, or even more. Li Zhiyun couldn't tell what Zhangsun Wugou was thinking.
" Yes." Li Zhiyun nodded and said," My son is gone. Mother, take care of yourself."”
"Go, I'll watch you leave." Madam Wan said kindly.
At the same time.
In a hidden corner of the Imperial City.
Yang You and the Underworld Master also watched as Li Zhiyun left with his trusted soldiers.
"Yin Master, what do you think of Li Zhiyun's suggestion?”Yang You asked.
Even though he had promised Li Zhiyun and Yang You was planning to do so, he wanted to hear what others had to say.
If you listen to one side, it will be dark; if you listen to all sides, it will be bright.
He needed someone to remind him to look at Li Zhiyun's actions from a bystander's point of view.
Yang You was different from his grandfather.
Although he was young, he didn't have the illusion of his grandfather Yang Guang's ego.
He believed that a ruler should not only be good at accepting advice, but also be good at observing words!
The so-called observation was to carefully distinguish which officials had proposed the so-called strategy of benefiting the country and the people.
Because strategies were proposed by people.
Often, many of the advice seemed to be beneficial to the country and the people on the surface.
In fact, in the exquisite packaging of benefiting the country and the people, there were often some demands of individuals or interest groups hidden.
If Li Zhiyun knew that Yang You had thought so much and was still on guard against his advice, he would definitely think more highly of Yang You.
Indeed, from ancient times to the present, countless good strategies that benefited the country and the people were often mixed with the goals or interests of certain individuals or interest groups in this exquisite coat.
This was something that had never changed.
Humans couldn't be without selfish desires.
As long as there were selfish desires, the strategies formulated by people would never be truly selfless, fair, and just.
The Underworld Master frowned and pondered for a moment before saying,"Your Highness, I can't see what selfish desires he has for the time being, but he has a saying that I think he's right. We can't bear to use these things now, and in the future, it will only benefit others.”
"Since Yin Master also thinks that this plan has more advantages than disadvantages, then Yin Master will send people to spread the news everywhere. Remember, don't go through the hands of the lower-level county government. These people are all under the control of the aristocratic families, and change the five years of exemption from corvee and taxes to ten years!”Yang You clenched his fists and said fiercely.
Li Zhiyun would never have thought that Yang You would be so crazy as to double the time.
"Your Highness, you can't. Five years is already a long time. Even if it's five years, our reserves might not be able to last.”The Underworld Master's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"It doesn't matter. I am in Chang 'an. This scene is so similar to Emperor Xian of Han. Emperor Xian of Han almost starved to death in Guanzhong. I want to see who will be Cao Cao! Who are Li Jue and Guo Si again?"
The expression of the Underworld Master's old face changed drastically again. He knelt down with a plop and hurriedly said,"Your Highness, as long as I am in Chang 'an, I will never let the world suffer the humiliation of Emperor Xian of Han. Please retract your order! Zuo Yiwei swore his loyalty to His Highness!"
The Underworld Master felt that Yang You didn't even trust him anymore.
It was not that Yang You didn't trust him, but the powerful factions all over the world wanted to spoil him. Yang You couldn't figure out Li Zhiyun's attitude, so he was anxious.
Yang You was very touched when he saw the fear and trepidation on the Underworld Master's face.
He quickly reached out to help the Underworld Master up." Yin Master, you were left behind by my Imperial Grandfather to assist me. If I don't believe you, who else can I trust? I can't figure out Li Zhiyun, so I'm just frustrated. It's hard to tell whether Li Zhiyun is loyal or evil. He's young and deep like water. He's bold and unscrupulous. I'm worried that I'll raise a tiger to invite trouble. I'll personally nurture a living Cao Cao!”
"Your Highness, don't worry. I can't become Cao Cao! Cao Cao still had the support of the clan, but he could not get the support of the clan! We can only rely on His Highness!"
……
Li Zhiyun didn't know that in Yang You's heart, he was actually treated as a living Cao Cao.
Back in the mansion, Yang You immediately shut himself in the study.
About three hours later, when the sky was slightly dark, he came out.
After he came out, he immediately summoned the commander of his personal guards and handed over the hundred invitations in his hand to him. He instructed,"Take my invitation and send them to the aristocratic families in Chang 'an according to their names.”
"Here!"
The commander of the bodyguards left.
Li Zhiyun heaved a sigh of relief. He felt uncomfortable after sitting for several hours.
He returned to the study and took out his saber.
He came to the courtyard and started dancing.
His saber technique was not taught by some famous martial arts master.
In the past, Li Zhiyun was a yes-man and Li Yuan did not value him at all. He also did not have any intention of nurturing Li Zhiyun.
This was all taught by a veteran in the residence that Madam Wan had hired from her little living expenses.
It was more appropriate to call it a saber technique. It was a killing technique that was summed up by the veterans of the army on the battlefield!
The family of this veteran soldier had been soldiers since Northern Qi, and the entire family had been soldiers for a living.
Therefore, the killing technique that he had concluded was really practical and good.
The saber had eight moves: sweep, chop, poke, cut, sweep, hold, chop, and dash. There were no fancy moves, simple and clear, with the goal of killing.
Li Zhiyun felt that it was not bad.
Just as Li Zhiyun was silently practicing the eight moves of the saber technique in the courtyard.
In the attic of the courtyard, the window was open. Zhangsun Wugou stood in front of the window and watched silently.
Even though she was far away, she could feel that Li Zhiyun, who seemed to be silently practicing his saber, had a heavy heart.
Gradually, Li Zhiyun's knife became faster and faster, and it gradually became a little messy.
At this moment, Li Zhiyun's breathing was very rapid.
He lowered his head and stared at the treasured saber with bloodshot eyes.
His head suddenly hurt, and as the speed of the knife increased, it hurt so much that his head was about to split!
But he couldn't stop. He felt that his headache would only lessen a little if he swung his saber fiercely.
Ah!
Finally, at a certain moment, Li Zhiyun let out a loud roar. The moment he raised his head, his eyes were strangely bloodshot, and his hoarse voice was filled with a manic and vicious aura.
He swung his saber at the tree trunks in front of him that were as thick as two bowls.
Crack!
The white light flashed and disappeared. The tree trunk let out a cracking sound, then slowly tilted.
The big tree fell, leaving only a half-tilted stump on the ground.
Li Zhiyun seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His body swayed a few times and slowly fell to the ground.
